of not completelly metabolised and used molecules ( yes i believe that
organisms who are not genitically prepared to metabolise new molecules is
stuck with it for a while till he found a way ( bacterial , viral,
parasitic means or replacement by right molecules obtain from original foods
when the  uncorrect molecules are partially used as integral part of the
metabolism

the detox or more exactelly in my view the replacement of incorrect
molecules by completelly appropriate ones ,  happens without having to show
spectacular symptoms

it just don't feel the same , it is somehow not fully and wholly  satisfying
, something is off.
I used in my experiments only cooked foods that i have not been able to
obtain raw , i used frozen foods the same way ,just to enlarge the varieties
.
shrimps feel good but is not available in stores raw undenatured here or
rarelly ( frozen raw yes but they taste nothing ) so i eat sometimes cooked
ones .when i fish them myself at the season it is easy for me ,i gorge on
them raw and whole

i believe more the latter , i don't think at all that a spectacular "detox"
is necessarry nor even beneficial .

when i removed the last quarter of my mercury fillings i had a huge skin
reaction on my face and torso , i think i forced my body to suddenlly
eliminate mercury stored in my system as the immune system awaken from its
tolerance state ( when mercury was leaching daily inside my body ).
interesting is at that precise moment , i got a huge attraction to sword
fish and tuna for a week ( 2 fishes high in mercury level ) i never had
sword fish before or after that episode .

i think so because of their incredible capacity for dealing with all kinds
of conditions ,something specialised cells from more complex microrganisms
have lost .so bacterias could perform function that the host cells have not
genetically prepared to deal with .

in any ecosystem every organisms have a function to fulfill and no functions
are bad or good they just are .if bacterias are present in an organism it is
because they need to be there , complex organisms are allways striving to
keep themselves together till it is time to let go of this energy consuming
association of life forms ( it is what complex organisms are : an ecosystem
of many species )

yes ! and may be quicker too in the long run , may be it is because i am
addisonian ( no adrenal cortex function ) and i can't deal with lot of
stress , but i am not into the roller coaster way of life .i like it
tranquil but permanent change .

And with chronic diseases, it is
> _necessary_ to detox in order to heal?

a body affected by a chronic disorder is an organsim out of balance
somewhere .and rebalancing means some eliminations from the body and
nourishment to the body .
I believe the natural hygiene idea that acutes diseases are an attempt to
rebalance to avoid deep malfunctions
and that many chronic disorders occur when thoses are repressed in their
expressions .( vaccination antibiotics or continuous malnourishment etc...)
so healing from a chronic disorders will require some acutes symptoms .

i used the parrallel of fast because it is often used as a means to force
eliminations .aajonus do its forcing thru flooding with nutrients .

both !

oh yes !
also the whole of medecine is feeding on that thought that healing occur
from the outside .
an organism is allways in the business to heal no matter how crooked its
functionning became , he is constantly striving to keep whole with what he
got as circonstances as abusive they can be .
Adressing thoses circonstances is the necessarry work i think , not adding
more unatural solutions to unaturals circonstances .It is an endless race
toward more unbalances.
how natural is it to look for disconfort, pain and sacrifices to resolve
disconforts pain and sacrifices ? to gain what ?
